    About this Episode

    Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
     Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.
     Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, Psalms 2:10-12

    Our prayer in Psalms 2 today is about our country's leaders turning to the Lord once again.

    Isaiah 10 - Accountability

    Isaiah 10 - Accountability

     And it shall come to pass in that day
     That the remnant of Israel,
     And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
     Will never again depend on him who defeated them,
     But will depend on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. Isaiah 10:20


    God holds Israel accountable and uses Assyria to that end. Assyria then becomes arrogant and God holds them accountable. I guess, I shouldn't be surprised when I'm then held accountable too.

    Pray 365 February 28 - Seek

    Hear my voice when I call, LORD; be merciful to me and answer me.  My heart says of you, “Seek his face! ” Your face, LORD, I will seek. Psalms 27:7-8

    Isaiah 9 - Light in Darkness

    Isaiah 9 - Light in Darkness

    The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined. Isaiah 9:2

    Have you ever been outside in the dark and couldn't see anything? When it was so dark, you stumbled around. Do you remember what it was like when you saw that first plash of light? The relief and happiness that swept over you? This is what the world experienced when Jesus was born. The earth had been living in darkness and suddenly, Wonderful entered in! The angles and seraphim began to sing. 

    AW Tozer speaks of it this way, "His name shall be called Wonderful,” and only He can engage and excite the wonder of angels and seraphim and cherubim and archangels and all beings and creatures. Only He is wonderful, and He came to us to reconcile us unto Himself. How beautiful, how wonderful!"

    Pray 365 February 27 - Christ's righteousness is sufficient, ours isn't

    Pray 365 February 27 - Christ's righteousness is sufficient, ours isn't

    Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21

    Charles Spurgeon prays the following in his book, The Pastor in Prayer,
    "And now we have a prayer to put up to Thee, Great God, and it is this, that in us Thy dear Son may see some portion of the travail of His soul. Lord, let Him see a reward for His sufferings in all of us being repentant for sin, and trusting in God, and confessing His name. We fear there are among us this morning some who still indulge in the sins which brought Christ to death, some that still are trusting in their own righteousness and so are despising His, because if theirs will suffice then His were superfluous. O God, we beseech Thee, bring men away from all their false trusts to rest in the great sacrifice of Thy dear Son. 

    Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word was God. Let's speak the Word over our land.

    Isaiah 8 - Where should you turn?

    Isaiah 8 - Where should you turn?

    And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living? Isaiah 8:19

    When faced with a challenge, I often run to friends and family for advice, but shouldn't the first place we turn be to God? He is the creator of all and wants what's best for us, after all!

    Pray 365 February 26 - Be restored

    Pray 365 February 26 - Be restored

    Create in me a clean heart, O God,
    And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
    Do not cast me away from Your presence,
    And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
    Restore to me the joy of Your salvation,
    And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Psalms 51:10-12

    Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more! Why have you despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in His sight? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the people of Ammon. 2 Samuel 12:7-9


    Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word was God. Let's speak the Word over our land.

     O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. Psalms 51:15

    Holy Spirit, please pray the perfect prayer through me, so I can praise God in the best way possible. Often, I feel as if my prayers are inadequate, but I'm grateful I can turn to Him and know they will always be just right.

    Isaiah 7 - A tough message to deliver

    Isaiah 7 - A tough message to deliver

    Moreover the LORD spoke again to Ahaz, saying, 11 “Ask a sign for yourself from the LORD your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.” Isaiah 7:10-11

    Have you had to do something for God that you didn't want to do? Isaiah had to. As Spurgeon states, "Isaiah had a very heavy commission from God. He was to go and speak to people who would not hear him and to be to them a messenger rather of death, than of life. Though the message, itself, would be full of life, yet they would refuse it, and so bring upon themselves a tenfold death. As a sort of experiment in his work, he was called upon, first, to go and speak to king Ahaz, that wicked king."

    Join me in reading Isaiah 7 and be encouraged when you're struggling to do God's will!

    Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. Daniel 6:10

    Lets let nothing stand in our way of praying to the Lord for our families, country and relationship. 

    Let's pray daily for our nation, family and relationship with God. The spoken word is powerful. God spoke the world into existence and in John 1 we read that the Word was with God and the Word was God. Let's speak the Word over our land.
